The following table describes the supported authentication methods and
indicates which methods are available for the KVM/net and which are
available for KVM ports. All authentication methods except “Local” require
an authentication server, which the administrator specifies while selecting the
authentication method. The KVM/net uses local authentication if any of the
authentication servers fails.
